00:08 They also ensured the safety of the protesters.
00:11 RON LAGUSAN has more.
00:13 The Commission on Elections also made it more strict in keeping watch against both buying and both selling.
00:22 The barangay and SK Elections are coming up in October.
00:26 Under Comelec Resolution No. 10946, it is easier to contest the election.
00:32 From here, the Committee on Contrabigay was formed to be the one to be appointed.
00:36 Even if they just send us the picture, even if it's not under oath,
00:43 their complaint, we will take action on it.
00:46 It is a motto of the Commission on Elections.
00:49 That is also the concept of Contrabigay.
00:52 Because the Committee of Contrabigay will file a case of disqualification and criminal case, election offense against the arrested.
01:03 According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia, the Committee will investigate and collect evidence so that the protesters will not have a hard time.
01:12 And for those who have already received and will share information, they will be given protection to avert the fear of the public.
01:20 This is a 32-page resolution. It's very comprehensive. This is without the annexes.
01:25 But it speaks of a whistleblower provision.
01:28 So it reads that any person otherwise guilty of both buying and both selling who voluntarily gives information
01:36 and willingly testifies on any violation thereof shall be exempt from prosecution and punishment.
01:43 In the first instance, under the Omnibus Election Code, there are presumptions or if an act is to be put, both buying or both selling is the Comelec.
01:52 If the Comelec is going to act based on presumption, it is not prohibited in the law to demand based on presumption.
02:01 There is a so-called disputable presumption, prima facie presumption.
02:05 So it's up to the one who demanded to defend himself.
02:08 The important thing is that we file a case against him.
02:10 This includes the transportation of any money, groceries, or anything of value,
02:15 including a sample of a bag or other campaign materials,
02:19 the promise of anything of value for the vote of a person,
02:22 or the transportation of voters to a place before or on the day of election.
02:27 The preliminary investigation into the claims filed for a faster process is also decentralized.
02:34 Our complaint will be filed here in the law department for assessment, evaluation, and conduct of preliminary investigation.
02:43 Under this resolution, our election officers, our provincial election supervisors,
02:50 and regional election directors and regional attorneys can conduct preliminary investigation.
02:59 Aside from this, he can also be involved in fiscal matters.
03:02 The committee also includes the use of digital transactions such as online banking or mobile wallet in vote buying or vote selling.
03:10 The unusual transactions such as large withdrawals or deposits are being looked at by many people in one place.
03:17 The Comelec also gave that vote buying or vote selling should not be a culture,
03:22 especially the future of the public who are involved in this.
03:25 Rod Laguzad, for the nation.
